Im only 27 but my dad raised me on this music. CL smooth, cella dwellas, wu tang, da youngstas, redman, Big L, Bun b, celly cel, snoop, gangstarr, and my favorite camp lo. ❤
@@deewynn the West been on that street chit. I wasn't referring to that. I was actually referring to the East. Onyx, Run-DMC went all black. MC Lyte, was in jeans, boots and hoodies. Heavy D , was even dressed in that attire. Brand Nubian. Chit was dark.
When I heard “they reminisce over you” I was 6 years old , and even at that age I could feel that song inside when I saw the video on tv .📺 it was my favorite song when I was 6
914 Salute to Money Earning Mt.Vernon Heavy D was a beautiful person and Shout out to Cl smooth 💞💞💞💞 love him he is underrated and he has barss and he is very talented ❤❤❤❤❤
That was such a special time in hip hop. Great music, lyricism and times. U could go to a party and boogie. Even r& b and tv was good. Heavy d could dance too. He wasn't a joke. He was a fluffy fly guy. I believe he paved the way for chubb rock n biggie.
R.I.P. Troy! Had the pleasure to meet Hev, Troy and Glen in the summer of '88. Really hit me different because I was at Troy's family reunion that summer. Troy's death really hit the family hard.
GD, what a phenomenal video...I hear Heavy D as I listen to CL Smooth speak, I'm sure his mentorship made an incredible impact on CL as well as a lot of other artist. Big ups to CL and much respect and love to Heavy D...a pioneer and a legend that is rarely acknowledge!
T.R.O.Y. is the life story for so many 80s baby’s who grew up during the crack era, without our dads Ghostface then caps it off 4 years later with All I got Is You Damn I miss the realness
Wish C.L and P.R would get back together and make more classic ground breaking everlasting music again but Im wishing upon a star..rip Heavy D the baddest big man on the dance floor...
Heavy d friend Troy who cl smooth and Pete rock made the song about died in Indianapolis Indiana in the early 90’s while heavy d was here and kid n play as well
I remember driving in the family van from Downstate NY to VA and then to FL. My older sister and I took turns with the Walkman and T.R.O.Y. single for almost the entire trip. 30 minutes unless the other went to sleep and we drained batteries.
“They had the same producer and ain’t sound the same. How does that work?” Back then, you did not want to be called a biter. To be called a biter could end your career before it even began. Today, that’s how most artists begin their careers, sounding like the masses. We know the few standouts, and they’re standouts cause they have their own style.
Freddie Stubbs (Aka: ReRun from What's Happening show) when it came to large brothas dancing and light in their feet, then The Don. HEAVY DIDDLYDIDDLYD!
There still would’ve been a biggie and big pun without heavy d that’s no shade to heavy d but I hate when people say there wouldn’t be this without that how do u know
He was the trailblazer for big men in the game for sure as a solo act.Fat Boys as a group pre date him.I also put Chubb Rock in that same era as Heav too
¨Count all the fingers and the toes, now I suppose you hope the little black boy grows, yeah!¨ who didn´t have that line run through their head when they had their son?
All them big rappers were Jamaican born or of Jamaican African descent ,,,,back then being fat in a skinny country like Jamaica meant you had wealth ,you were able to eat anytime,,,we had big hit songs like big belly man,,,I need a fat girl tonight,oversizemampii,,,and things like that.....do your ja cultural research....
"They Reminisce Over You" & "Straighten It Out" are important to me.
Till this day!
Me too straighten it out is the theme song for stress and problems Diddy should be listening 🎧
Facts 💯
Classic!
Yes
You can't forget "take you there" that was my jam
Heavy D is underrated. Never comes up on anyone top 20. Heavy was that guy.
Underated is subjective cuz Heav was the Man in my day! Mister Big Stuff, who do u think u are, u are, u are, u are...Booomp 🔊 🔊🔊💃🏾
@@motherofdragons33 Remember when Big Tyme came out. Everybody and they grandma had to have that cassette. And it was a classic.
@@jasonito23 Trust!!! Good tymes 🥰
RIP Heavy D and Trouble T.Roy 🕊️🕊️
You have think about Heavy also transcended not just hip-hop but the New Jack era.

Dwight Arrington Myers was really a beautiful person.
Hev's bars on Self Destruction was fire. I felt terrible when he passed.
T.R.O.Y and Summertime... This is the top request at every outdoor event…. Salute C.L Smooth for making a classic
Word!! Well said.
Absolutely
Im only 27 but my dad raised me on this music. CL smooth, cella dwellas, wu tang, da youngstas, redman, Big L, Bun b, celly cel, snoop, gangstarr, and my favorite camp lo. ❤
Pop's definitely knew his stuff. Great comment.
🔥
Camp lo wow
You gotta great head start 😊
@@adr3naline23 Camp Lo´s first album is still an outstanding album. Every song hit hard.
Late 80’s to about the mid 90’s. Those were the golden years for Hip-Hop.
'86-92 after was great Hip Hop but the music was starting to get dark.
You're right!! It was awesome to live through those days!! Especially here in N.Y.!!
@@omardavis1622It wasn't getting dark. The Wesr Coast rappers started spittin the truth about their existence is all. And real life can be dark.
@@deewynn the West been on that street chit. I wasn't referring to that. I was actually referring to the East. Onyx, Run-DMC went all black. MC Lyte, was in jeans, boots and hoodies. Heavy D , was even dressed in that attire. Brand Nubian. Chit was dark.
The whole because 90s Nas I Am 99 and Aquemeni OutKast 98
When I heard “they reminisce over you” I was 6 years old , and even at that age I could feel that song inside when I saw the video on tv .📺 it was my favorite song when I was 6
Hell yeah me to. You have to be about 38 or 39?
Hey grasshopper 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 I was a preteen 😉 good times🥰
Heavy D was killing it with those dance moves and spit fire lyrics at the same time
1985 to 1995 hip-hop was at its apex! The original sounds and creativity was at its peak
86-96.
86-96 is honestly the Golden era
I remember the first time i heard T R O Y and still listen to it regularly. Absolutely iconic song. Period.
Late Heavy D was huge impact on rap,TV had swag and charisma
CL was waaaaay ahead of his time.
T.R.O.Y. still makes me cry!
"After ten years without no spouse
Mama's gettin' married and a house"
That song is deep deep. Momma had her daddy!
Heavy D was a gentleman of the highest order. Miss that dude.
"They Reminisce over you" is a great song and deep music video,it all came together right
In my opinion, TROY is the epitome of a Hip Hop song. When I think pure hip hop, It's TROY.
I say tht song and Flow Joe in my opinion…The beat the music waz
Reminisce song to me is the same as “Before I let go” by Frankie Beverly and Maze. It live for ever.
R.I.P. Heavy D, we all had the Word Up magazine fold outs of Heavy and Salt N Pepa on our walls...
T.R.O.Y. is the greatest song in the history of Hip Hop! Definitely my favorite
It doesn't get more nostalgic than TROY
It's a top 5 song. I just wish it was on a better album 🎤🎤🎤
Before i watch the video i wanna say i was born in 93 & TROY is the soundtrack to my life by way of my father with an assist from PlayStation
A great storytelling song! A stroll down memory lane!!
914 Salute to Money Earning Mt.Vernon Heavy D was a beautiful person and Shout out to Cl smooth 💞💞💞💞 love him he is underrated and he has barss and he is very talented ❤❤❤❤❤
Indeed telling you the 914 in mtv is and will be that one
THE WHOLE RECORD IS A CLASSIC....Got to get them back together
That was such a special time in hip hop. Great music, lyricism and times. U could go to a party and boogie. Even r& b and tv was good. Heavy d could dance too. He wasn't a joke. He was a fluffy fly guy. I believe he paved the way for chubb rock n biggie.
Troy is the epitome of early 90’s rap. It’s one of those songs that instantaneously hits the soul.
💯
Bless Heavy D.🙏🏾💓🕊️Much Love‼️💚🐐He was truly the bomb and his music is still🔥🔥🔥He would get his shit off on stage🕺🏾👏🏾Yes Sirrr.💯💯💯
Did they ever mention NBA Street? That song was huge for that game!
88-91 was hip hops golden era
I would say 90 - 95. Troy came out in 92
Troy is definitely my anthem 🔥
Heavy D turned to a producer as well he is Hip Hop... we got our own thing .
The mere fact Heav introduced us to his little cousin is goat status, let alone everything else.
R.I.P. Troy! Had the pleasure to meet Hev, Troy and Glen in the summer of '88. Really hit me different because I was at Troy's family reunion that summer. Troy's death really hit the family hard.
Well spoken word CL smooth
This song is everything to me. I was born the same day. October 8th.
Love this interview. Salute to those brothers!!!! Pete & Pete still undefeated in my book. The music they made is very necessary.
Just heard it in a song called post Party depression.... with Gary Revel... Troy's reference is eternal.
I was literally just playing this song when i saw this pop up 😊😊
Song Is Timeless!!!!
CL I LOVED HIS MUSIC🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
CL smooth is a Legend and always been a stand up guy💪🏼✌️🙏
He is 💯 when he said people mother's loved Heavy D, my moms was a big Heavy D fan...
R.I.P to tha di di di dan tha di di di dan tha di di di gorgon 🙏🏿 Top10 MC/lyricist ever
Big Dwight R.I.P
T.r.o.y, that’s one of my top three all time hiphop joints
GD, what a phenomenal video...I hear Heavy D as I listen to CL Smooth speak, I'm sure his mentorship made an incredible impact on CL as well as a lot of other artist.
Big ups to CL and much respect and love to Heavy D...a pioneer and a legend that is rarely acknowledge!
Da Two & Carmel City is my favorite
🔥🔥🔥
Say dat!!! FAAACCCTTTSSS!!!
TROY is on my Spotify list and it embodies a time when Hip Hop was the only art that spoke to and was spoken by Black youth.
Golden era 1987-1990
Mecca & The Soul Brother
That song TROY.. changed Hip hop and the way rappers Flow
CL smooth is one of my favorite artist
We missed out on a lot of dope beats, lyrics and music, in general, when Pete and CL broke up!! 💯🙌🏾 🎶
T.R.O.Y. is the life story for so many 80s baby’s who grew up during the crack era, without our dads
Ghostface then caps it off 4 years later with All I got Is You
Damn I miss the realness
Wish C.L and P.R would get back together and make more classic ground breaking everlasting music again but Im wishing upon a star..rip Heavy D the baddest big man on the dance floor...
That man said “renecanize” lmao. Salute CL! My guy!!!
If an Alien came to earth and asked what is Hip Hop Music, you play T.R.O.Y.
CL is one of my favorite people I’ve smoked cigars with, even if he smoked my last Cuban. 😂😂😂😂
That’s where Big got his dressing style from… Heavy D. Puff just took a page outta Heavs book and dressed Big up.
Heavy D was a soo cold one of favorite rappers
CL Smooth - one of the GOATS!!
Top 5 hip hop song all time...
Heavy D Big Tyme was a record ppl played alot of that i can remember at that time
Heavy d friend Troy who cl smooth and Pete rock made the song about died in Indianapolis Indiana in the early 90’s while heavy d was here and kid n play as well
Heavy DWas All That ❤❤❤❤
Top 3 to 5 all time song
That’s me & my brother back to the future song
Heavy was a gemini.
Why rock the bells and verzuz battles are a must more than ever.
T.R.O.Y. is melancholy asf. That track is a mother fuc… feel. GEEEEZ 😢
I remember driving in the family van from Downstate NY to VA and then to FL. My older sister and I took turns with the Walkman and T.R.O.Y. single for almost the entire trip. 30 minutes unless the other went to sleep and we drained batteries.
Love cl smooth ✊🏿
👑👑👑👑👑 RIP Heavy.D

My God.. legendary. Pete Rock n CL Smooth. RIP Heavy. Trouble T-Roy and the other fallen greats

"My grandma Pam holds the family together. My Uncle Doc's the greatest better yet the latest..."
Gangstar "Moment of Truth" is the greatest rap album ever! Mecca and the Soul Brother, is No.2!
There still would’ve been a biggie and big pun without heavy d that’s no shade to heavy d but I hate when people say there wouldn’t be this without that how do u know
He was the trailblazer for big men in the game for sure as a solo act.Fat Boys as a group pre date him.I also put Chubb Rock in that same era as Heav too
They Reminisce Over You
Dear Mama
I Used to Love Her
...
hate we never got a deep reponse about the record
that record is something speical
Fred Rerun Berry wasn't a rapper but predated the Fat Boys and was gracefully on his feet
Dunno why but Heavy D reminds me soooooooo much of Dusty Rhodes.
¨Count all the fingers and the toes, now I suppose you hope the little black boy grows, yeah!¨ who didn´t have that line run through their head when they had their son?
Check out Reakon and CL smooth .......CLassic
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
🎉legendary horn riff
Heavy D was light on his feet
Fat Boys Heavy D then Chubb Rock then Biggie then Pun
👑👑👑👑👑 C.L. Smooth 🫡
Ok I'll go and listen to TROY now 😂
Water Bed Heav... rip King
You had to be nice not to curse on a record and make it fly as hell that was Heavy D
What happened to noreaga ny accent? Whe came out his accent was thick in interviews.
RIP Trouble T-Roy and Heavy D
TROY GOAT
Tthis was Looooooooooooooooooooooooooong Overdue
All them big rappers were Jamaican born or of Jamaican African descent ,,,,back then being fat in a skinny country like Jamaica meant you had wealth ,you were able to eat anytime,,,we had big hit songs like big belly man,,,I need a fat girl tonight,oversizemampii,,,and things like that.....do your ja cultural research....
